Some AIs may be able to hack websites without any human assistance Ole.CNX/Shutterstock OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model GPT-4 has the capability to hack websites and steal information from online databases without human help, researchers have found. That suggests individuals or organisations without hacking expertise could unleash AI agents to carry …

An artist’s impression of a hollow nanowire emitting doughnut-shaped laser light Masato Takiguchi et al./ACS Photonics/American Chemical Society 2024 Tiny, hollow wires can produce doughnut-shaped laser light that could be used to levitate small objects or transmit information. Conventional lasers typically make beams that appear as a single, small point …

Human brains consolidate memories while sleeping. Could AI systems use the same technique? Giulia Fiori Photography/Getty Images Building AIs that sleep and dream can lead to better results and more reliable models, according to researchers who aim to replicate the architecture and behaviour of the human brain. But other experts …

Objects will vibrate more strongly at certain frequencies buuzzaa/Shutterstock Living human cells have resonant frequencies – rates at which they will naturally oscillate if the conditions are right. This has been suspected for decades, but researchers have now measured what some of those frequencies are. When an object vibrates, the …

An artist’s impression of the DeepSouth supercomputer A supercomputer capable of simulating, at full scale, the synapses of a human brain is set to boot up in Australia next year, in the hopes of understanding how our brains process massive amounts of information while consuming relatively little power. The machine, …

Brain organoids growing in a Petri dish Science Photo Library / Alamy Balls of human brain cells linked to a computer have been used to perform a very basic form of speech recognition. The hope is that such systems will use far less energy for AI tasks than silicon chips. …

The Saker Scout drone is able to attack targets autonomously Saker Ukrainian attack drones equipped with artificial intelligence are now finding and attacking targets without human assistance, New Scientist has learned, in what would be the first confirmed use of autonomous weapons or “killer robots”. While the drones are designed …

Swift (blue) races against the drone (red) of Alex Vanover, the 2019 Drone Racing League world champion Leonard Bauersfeld An artificial intelligence has consistently beaten champion drone pilots in races for the first time, achieving lap times no human was able to match. The technology could be used to speed …

Erik McGregor/LightRocket via Getty Images The alarm bells have been rung. In May, computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI”, quit his role at Google to warn of the “existential threat” posed by artificial intelligence. The Center for AI Safety followed up with an open letter, signed …

The artificial intelligence system can identify valid targets Athena AI Drones being evaluated by the US military could soon be equipped with an artificial intelligence that is claimed to be better than humans at identifying targets, although the classified nature of the work makes it difficult to verify this claim. …
